EPF10K50EFC256-3N

The EPF10K50EFC256-3N is a FLEX 10KE family FPGA IC providing embedded programmable logic and on-chip memory for commercial embedded designs. It combines 2,880 logic elements with 40,960 bits of embedded RAM and 191 user I/O pins in a compact 256‑ball BGA package to support system-level integration and configurable logic functions.

Built on the FLEX 10K architecture, the device supports features such as in-circuit reconfigurability and JTAG boundary-scan, enabling flexible development workflows and board-level testability for commercial applications.

Key Features

• Programmable Logic Capacity — 2,880 logic elements provide the core resources for implementing custom logic, state machines, and glue logic.
• Embedded Memory — 40,960 bits of on-chip RAM for data buffering, small lookup tables, and storage for user logic.
• User I/O — 191 user-accessible I/O pins with per-pin control, enabling versatile interfacing to external devices and buses.
• Power and Supply — Operates from a 2.3 V to 2.7 V supply range to match target system power rails.
• Package & Mounting — 256‑ball FinePitch BGA (256‑FBGA, 17 × 17) in a surface-mount format for space-efficient PCB integration.
• Commercial Temperature Grade — Specified for 0 °C to 70 °C operation, suitable for commercial-grade embedded systems.
• Test & Configuration — Built-in JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) and support for in-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration devices or JTAG.
• Clocking & Timing — FLEX 10K family features such as low-skew clock distribution, ClockLock and ClockBoost options, and multiple global clock/clear signals aid deterministic timing and clock management.
• Series-Level Interconnect & Arithmetic Support — FastTrack interconnect, dedicated carry chains and cascade chains (FLEX 10K family features) facilitate efficient routing and fast arithmetic implementations.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS environmental requirements for lead-free assembly.

Typical Applications

• System Integration & SOPC Functions — Implement embedded megafunctions and memory-intensive logic for compact system-on-programmable-chip designs.
• Configurable Interface Logic — Provide programmable glue logic and I/O interfacing where 191 user I/Os and per-pin control simplify board-level connectivity.
• Prototyping and Development — In-circuit reconfigurability and JTAG support enable iterative development, debugging, and functional verification on prototypes.
• Commercial Embedded Products — Suitable for commercial-grade embedded designs that require moderate logic capacity, on-chip RAM, and a compact BGA package.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory — 2,880 logic elements paired with 40,960 bits of embedded RAM provide a practical mix of programmable logic and on-chip storage for many embedded functions.
• High I/O Density — 191 user I/O pins in a 256‑ball FBGA package allow complex external interfacing without a large package footprint.
• Flexible Configuration and Test — JTAG boundary-scan and support for in-circuit reconfiguration streamline board bring-up, field updates, and manufacturing test.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package — 256‑FBGA (17 × 17) enables space-efficient PCB layouts while maintaining access to ample logic and memory resources.
• Commercial Focus — Specified operating range (0 °C to 70 °C) and RoHS compliance match commercial product and manufacturing requirements.
